Street Arts
Melbourne Street Art 86 is almost complete in its initial form. All that remains is to add the street art location maps for Clifton Hill, Northcote and Thornbury, with the Clifton Hill most probably being added this evening.
During the weekend I spent some time out along the 86 route taking photographs in sunny conditions to replace some of the darker or overshadowed examples originally posted. Revisiting the Fitzroy, Clifton Hill and Northcote pages you will find a number of locations have clearer and more dynamic photos in place. I have also added two locations and a number of new examples to Fitzroy and about twenty new street art works to Collingwood that I had to rephotograph as they were unsuitable for my quality standards for the site.
The Travelling on the 86 trams page also have a number of new photographs, and there is a new site guide page, showing how to make best use of the site as a resource for locating street art.
As an ongoing project I will be replacing more photographs as and when I am able to. It can be a tricky business as walls on buildings and along alleys are orientated in various directions, and getting to them at just the right time of the day when the sun illuminates the art, or there are not too many cars in the way, takes a bit of planning and sometimes happenstance.
As to the future of the site, I have a lot of photographs left over that I either didn't include because there were already too many on a particular page, or the street art I found was too far away from the 86 tram lines to fall within the criteria for inclusion. I will be periodically posting some of these in this space, with the first being a post about mobile street art - vans and trucks I photographed during my explorations that had been turned into street art with an indeterminate location.
I will also be updating the downloable and printable Melbourne Street Art 86 Things to Do and See on the 86 tram route flyer with recommendations of new sights and some shops.
- New Art Works And Central Melbourne - Street Art Catalog And Map Page
Below is a new paste up probably by Shida in Sniders La off Drewery Lane. I have also reorganised the Other locations - City of Melbourne page and renamed it to become a reasonably complete catalog of the street art locations in Central...
- Melbourne Street Art 86 – Coming Destinations
Following is an outline of what I intend to add to the site progressively over the next couple of months. Artists names: I am about to start adding these as captions to individual photographs. In many cases, it means combing various websites and...
- Northcote Updates, Quick Gallery & Deleted Scenes
Northcote updates The Northcote map has now been added to the NORTHCOTE - High Street page. This was the last of the suburb page maps remaining to be added to the site. However... the Northcote mapping is not yet complete. Northcote has a lot of street...
- The Mother Of All Updates
A massive update today, the largest most probably for some time; as I have mostly finished the site as I had intended, I am moving on to some other projects and probably will only update the site once or twice a week with a post and any changes to locations...
- Clifton Hill - Updates 14 January 2013
The majority of the Clifton Hill - Queens Pde page has been added now. Some of the photographs are quite dark, as I have only been able to get to the location in the evening when the light is not ideal for works orientated in certain directions...
